International Dual Degree

A dual-degree program is now available in cooperation with the Hochschule Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences in Schmalkalden, Germany. This program provides students with the opportunity to study abroad for 2 consecutive quarters in addition to the required coursework of the MBA program. It combines the Master of Business Administration degree from Eastern Washington University with the Master of Art degree in International Business and Economics from the Hochschule Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences in Schmalkalden, Germany. All coursework is taught in English. This cooperative program enables students to earn both degrees in less time than if undertaken separately.

The student also must be fully admissible into the MBA program at the time of entry.
